Well, I got tired of sending over-rated items back to KEH five or six years ago, and haven't done business with them since. In the early and middle 1990's, though, they were absurdly over-priced and their gear was generally over-graded. The nice thing was that their staff were utterly ignorant of what they were selling and often rarities were available for very low prices. (I picked up a set of Leitz LTM to M adapter rings for $25, for instance, when the market would have supported a price of $75 each -- obviously, the pricing clerk had no idea what they were worth.) So it seems that KEH has cleaned up their act. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bąs fir gun ghrąs fir!
